(pop. 4,848; elevation 6,748 ft.), and while Shepherd talks, the oil and water stains on the cement driveway of the A & A Texaco station are turned to rainbows by the morning...

Some of the fans have patiently endured the three-hour wait every day for a week so they can again and again walk up the shaded driveway, past rows of huge flower arrangements sent from all over the world, to the bronze plaque marking Presley's grave. They pass by at a rate of about 1,200 an hour. "Just being close makes me feel good," says Fay Matheny, 34, a factory worker from Richmond...
